The Dynamic Response Analysis of Piled Wharf System under Seismic Excitation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the behavior of piled wharf system under seismic excitation, numerical analyses are conducted by employing the Newmark’s time-integration algorithm. In the computational model, both nonlinearity of subsoil and the contact behavior between pile-soil interfaces are considered. The numerical results show that the horizontal displacement extremum of all piles in time history increase with the pile height under horizontal seismic excitation. Especially, the side pile of wharf system in the bank slope appears larger horizontal displacement compared with the other piles. Furthermore, the extremum variation of horizontal acceleration and bending moment of the side pile displays a non-monotonic characteristic. Based on computational results and theoretical analyses, several conclusion remarks are drawn, which can provide valuable and referable experience to some extent for related engineering practice and design.
